Urgent need to strengthen unified management of scientific data of natural resources

Abstract

At present, the institutional restructuring and business restructuring of the Ministry of natural resources have been basically completed, and business integration has become the focus of the work. Earth data science is combination of earth science and data science, and is a frontier cross field of earth science research and a paradigm shift of data-driven scientific discovery. This paper reviews the progress of big earth data research in 2020 from the aspects of earth data science program, scientific data governance, and earth science data sharing. It focuses on the Deep-Time Digital Earth Science Program, Big Earth Data Science Engineering Project and achievements in global data aggregation, authentication, repository, policies, standards, and identification, as well as practices of the earth science data centers, databases, data models, data integration, and data publishing. The paper points out countermeasures and suggestions for promoting scientific management of natural resources.
